A few months back, Bob Ash decided to run for election to our community's Resident Advisory Committee. When he submitted his candidate profile, many of us had our first glimpse at his impressive industry experience and academic credentials. Bob, known to many as friendly neighbor and an affable golf partner was a man who had no need for boastful self-promotion. He simply let his record speak for itself. And what a record. After graduating from his beloved University of Virginia, he earned an M.B.A. from The Wharton School, acquired his C.P.A. credentials, and served his country in the U.S. Navy. There then followed a career of accomplishments with several prominent U.S. Corporations. More recently, Bob has been plying his trade through his firm, Ashworth Consultants, Inc. During this time, he also found time for active involvement in industry events and service as an adjunct professor at several area colleges. Needless to say, our community quickly elected him to the Committee and during the short time he was to serve, we marveled at our good fortune in having someone of Bob’s caliber to help with the task of overseeing the community’s management.
Last week end, only hours after playing in a community golf tournament, Bob Ash died peacefully at his home. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob, his wife Barbara and their family. We will miss seeing his distinctive U.V.A. golf bag on the golf course, but more importantly, we will miss Bob’s friendship, his wise counsel and his trademark welcoming smile that all helped make our little corner of the world a better place.
